Seattle. Traffic. Is. The. Worst. One hour, I repeat, one hour, to make it down 3 blocks in the city last Friday afternoon. What. The. Hell. It was a rough day and we were ready for this much needed weekend away from the city. However, with traffic like this- it wasn’t looking like that was…
After a night spent in the WalMart parking lot, I was definitely ready to get on with the journey. It was 5am and just the beginning lights of dawn could be seen in the distance. My neck was cramped, my legs sore and my eyes just couldn’t seem to moisten but I wanted nothing more…
Thursday night before my departure I didn’t sleep very well. I tossed and turned all night long wondering if I was making the right decision. As part of my personality, I’m constantly worrying about taking the ‘right’ path and making the decisions that will make me the happiest in the long run. My students kept…
How many chapters are in a lifetime? The phrase always makes me laugh yet, in a few short weeks; I’ll be once again turning over a page in this life and beginning a new chapter. I am so very extremely excited yet sad; bittersweet is the perfect word to describe it. In Minneapolis I have…
I spent this past weekend in Saratoga Springs, New York for a little Dave Matthews Band weekend. I’ve only been to New York one other time and the East Coast only a handful so I’m not the most familiar with the area. Ignorantly in my mind, everything on the East Coast is within like, 3…
Summertime is almost here! It’s time to say buh-bye to those winter blues, bust out the ‘ole sunnies and slap on that sunscreen. The days are longer, the weather is nicer and people are just plain ole more fun to be around. Oh, and for us that may be slightly insane, summertime means one thing…
Over the course of a lifetime you meet a ton of people. As the cliché goes; “some come in your life for a moment, for a year, or for a lifetime” Or, to some extent. And it’s true- people filter in and out of our lives but each and every one serves a purpose. As…
I’ve been using the same small suitcase for almost two years now. It’s a small tattered black rolling bag- perfect for the essential ‘no checking a bag’ rule. For many travels both near and far it has served me well and I haven’t much thought about its rugged looks. My beloved bag looks as though…
Paging my inner Penny Lane; I am so beyond excited! In three weeks I will be hitting the road to tag along on the Almost Famous ’73 tour! Just kidding- kinda.. Instead of Stillwater, I’ll be following the indie folk-rock band, The Head and The Heart. This band won my heart over back in 2010…
If you are anything like me, you are sick and tired of being cooped up inside. (Thanks a lot, Polar Vortex) My body and mind were screaming for a way to get out- an adventure of any kind that had me feeling like I was in the beautiful outdoors. To fuel this desire, my roommates…
